Australian metalcore band The Amity Affliction have stuck gold in the United States. “Pittsburgh“, the lead track from the band’s fourth studio album “Let The Ocean Take Me“, has newly been certified gold in the United States by the RIAA. That March 03rd, 2025 certification marks the band’s first time hitting gold in the U.S. and arrives as they navigate some lineup acrimony.
A platinum album/single in the United States represents 1,000,000 units, while gold signifies 500,000 units. Outside of traditional physical/digital sales, the certifications factor in digital streams/downloads with 10 permanent track downloads counting as 1 unit and 1500 on-demand audio/video streams from a particular album also counting as as a unit.
